I was a princess in ancient times

After Ji Xinxue and others returned to the mourning hall, they knelt on the side of the coffin and wept under the instructions of the concubine De. This time, they did not need to think about the "deep emotion" for the late emperor to brew tears, and the concubine De gave them physical help.

As long as you put the handkerchief Defei gave them on their eyes, there will be an unstoppable cool wind blowing into their eyes, ensuring that they can't stop their tears even if they don't want to cry.

In the second half of the night, not only Ji Xinxue and others couldn't stand it, but the courtiers couldn't stand it either. The crying in the mourning hall became smaller and smaller, gradually approaching none.

After Mo Yao, who was always kneeling at the front of the group of officials, was called away by King Qinghe, the sad atmosphere in the mourning hall dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only slack humming remained.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng beside him leaned on each other, their eyes sore to the extreme but they still had to try their best to support them, for fear that they would accidentally fall asleep and be caught by someone who cared.

Not long after Mo Yao left, another Jinwu Guard came in and took away several senior ministers of the leader.

These people did not return to the mourning hall until the rooster crowed, following King Jia who had changed his clothes.

Ji Xinxue and the others walked from the side of the coffin behind King Jia with low eyebrows, followed by King Jia kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, and paid homage to Emperor Daxing.

After the prostration, Ji Xinxue and the others, who were able to sustain themselves entirely by perseverance, were finally brought back to the place where King Jia fainted and had a rest before the familiar servants.

Due to the limited space, only two people can sleep in one bed.

Ji Xinxue no longer had the energy to think about whether he and Ji Mingtong slept in the same bed, would it bring Ji Mingtong a psychological shadow, and immediately fell into a deep sleep after climbing into bed.

Ji Mingtong was less useful than Ji Xinxue, and after entering the house, he slumped softly, and was carried to Ji Xinxue's side by the servant.

Maybe it was due to extreme exhaustion, Ji Xinxue slept very deeply, but unfortunately he hadn't eaten much for nearly two days, although he slept deeply, he couldn't avoid being woken up by hunger.

Ji Xinxue looked wearily at the bed curtain above her head, thinking that as long as she stayed up for a few more days, everything would be fine when she returned to Chang'an, and finally made up her mind to get up and eat.

He carefully walked around Ji Mingtong who was still sleeping soundly, put on his shoes with the help of the maid, and left the room lightly.

Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou who rested last night were in the mourning hall. Among the people who came back this morning, only Ji Xinxue woke up from hunger. He took the time to eat a bowl of hot plain noodles and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

When Ji Xinxue woke up again, it was already close to night, instead of feeling relieved from sleep for a long time, he felt sleepy, his mind was too chaotic.Ji Mingtong is no longer by his side, and the servants in the house have also changed from concubine De's palace servants to Bijuan.

Ji Xinxue propped up her body and leaned against the head of the bed, rubbing her eyebrows and said, "Where's sister?"

Bijuan handed the warm sweat towel to Ji Xinxue, "A guest came, and the fourth lady just woke up, so she went to treat the guest."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue put the folded square sweat towel on her face, her chaotic thoughts immediately became clear, and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's Miss Yan. The palace servants next to Empress Defei brought her here, saying that Concubine Yan had worked so hard for the saint, that she might not have time to take care of Miss Yan. Empress Defei thought that you were the same age as Fourth Lady and Miss Yan, so she Let you take care of Miss Yan." Bijuan explained to Ji Xinxue while pouring warm water, and when Ji Xinxue lifted the sweat towel stuck to her face in good spirits, she just returned to Ji Xinxue with a cup of warm water. Xinxue's side.

Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

He hurriedly changed into plain white clothes, with only two white silk flowers in his hair, and immediately rushed to the side hall to find Ji Mingtong and Miss Yan.

In the flower hall were not only Ji Mingtong and Yan Xiaoniang, but also Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu who had also changed into filial piety clothes, and Princess Dehui who was not mentioned by Bijuan.

Princess Dehui's face was haggard and ugly, but she was in good spirits, leaning against the maid and complaining endlessly.

"...He was originally a person who was not on the stage. When the first emperor was still there, he didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of my mother and Mrs. De. Now that Mrs. De wants to use them, it can be regarded as giving them a shameless opportunity, bah !"

Ji Xinxue has never been able to handle Princess Dehui, who is more lively than Ji Mingtong, so he deliberately circled around, walked to Yu Heng's side quietly, and said softly, "What's the matter, where did Yingying get so angry?" .”

Princess Dehui is lucky, she is the youngest princess, she is not yet old enough to face the madness of Emperor Yanguang, and she has a strong adoptive mother like Concubine Xian. .

Fortunately, Princess Dehui and Ji Mingtong take pleasure in exploring a hundred thousand whys, and don't like to join in the fun in crowded places, otherwise the little ladies of Chang'an don't know how much they will suffer in their hands.

Ji Xinxue never thought that she would see Princess Dehui angrily complaining in private.

Yu Heng pulled Ji Xinxue's arm back a few steps towards the corner, and whispered to Ji Xinxue what he heard from Princess Dehui after he came to the side hall.

The empress had already left the Lieshan Palace, just to give Concubine De a chance to appease the late emperor's concubines as the birth mother of the new emperor.

Concubine Xian has been on good terms with Concubine De for many years, so she is naturally willing to give Concubine De convenience at this time.She was the side concubine of the sage when he was in the hidden mansion, and she was ranked ahead of the concubine De in terms of origin and time spent as a concubine, but she took the initiative to take Princess Dehui to find the concubine Dehui, putting the concubine De first in everything.

Apart from Concubine Xian, Concubine Yan went to Concubine De first. When she saw Concubine De, she threw herself at Concubine De's feet and wept bitterly. The first sentence was to cry for the late emperor, and the second sentence was swearing, "The late emperor told the concubine a long time ago." However, only Liulang is worthy of the big job. '

Hearing this, Ji Xinxue immediately understood why Miss Yan appeared here.

Concubine Yan is really a smart person.

Concubine Cui arrived later than Concubine Yan, she didn't like to talk, but she was very obedient when facing Concubine De, no matter what Concubine De told her, she would answer very seriously and respectfully.

In the words of Concubine Xian, "I watched Concubine Cui enter the palace with a cold eye for several months, and it was the first time I saw Concubine Cui have the consciousness of being a concubine serving a concubine."

The people who made Princess Dehui so angry were the many low-ranking concubines brought by Emperor Yanguang.

These people, including Concubine Yan, make up thirty people in total. They are the people who have seen Emperor Yanguang the most times in the past three years. They are even three years older than Emperor Yanguang. Wu Guiren, whom the emperor wanted to see, saw Emperor Yanguang fifteen times in three years.

Fifteen times may not be many, but the empress saw Emperor Yanguang five times in three years, the concubine Xian saw Emperor Yanguang seven times in three years, and the concubine De only saw Emperor Yanguang ten times in three years.

King Li saw Emperor Yanguang three times in three years, King Jia saw Emperor Yanguang five times in three years, and King Xiang saw Emperor Yanguang four times in three years.

In contrast, the number of times Wu Guiren saw Emperor Yanguang was comparable to the total number of times that the prince and the prince's biological mother saw Emperor Yanguang. She was also the person who was least liked by Emperor Yanguang among the low-ranking concubines in the palace.

Princess Dehui's life has never been affected by these low-ranking concubines, and she has no chance to get in close contact with these low-ranking concubines.

In her impression, the concubines in the harem were either from famous families and dignified like the Queen and Concubine Xian, or they were graceful and calm like Concubine De and Su Xian.

Then she caught off guard and opened her eyes... The first intuitive insight into what life is all about.

When the 29 low-ranking concubines first arrived in front of Concubine De and Concubine Xian, they behaved extremely honestly and saluted Concubine De and Xian carefully, not daring to make any mistakes.

With Concubine Yan who was eager to show off, naturally there was no need for Concubine De and Concubine Xian to waste their words, the low-ranking concubines finally understood Concubine Yan's meaning under Concubine Yan's constant hints.

The candidate for the new emperor is Concubine De's own son, you want to have a better life in the future, why don't you hurry up and say something nice!

Concubine Yan saw that those concubines of high status were dull, and deliberately cited a lot of examples. Opening and closing their mouths is what the late emperor once said... Almost every sentence was about how the late emperor praised King Jia.

After talking non-repetitive good words for almost half an hour, Concubine Yan looked expectantly at the low-ranking concubines who seemed to be enlightened.

After the low-ranking concubines opened their mouths, not only the angry concubine Yan's head was smoking, but even the concubine Xian's expression almost failed to collapse.

There were a total of 29 low-ranking concubines, and only fourteen low-ranking concubines said what they had heard the late emperor say they were optimistic about King Jia, as everyone thought.

The remaining fifteen low-ranking concubines, I don't know if they are really stupid or fake, some followed King Kuajia but never mentioned the late emperor, some simply lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb and refused to speak.

Some even laughed at whether Concubine Yan was suffering from hysteria, or just wanted to please the new emperor and concubine De, even fabricating the words and deeds of the late emperor.

……

Ji Xinxue took a deep breath, and suddenly understood Princess Dehui's anger.He felt like his blood pressure continued to rise when Yu Heng repeated Princess Dehui's words, let alone Princess Dehui who faced those low-ranking concubines.

And recalling what Princess Dehui said when he first came to the side hall, it seems that there are low-ranking concubines who guessed Concubine Yan, or guessed Concubine De's intentions, and planned to sit down and raise the price to blackmail Concubine De for benefits?

Thinking of the scene yesterday where Concubine De made the concubine burst into tears with a few words, Ji Xinxue shook her head, lighting the candle in her heart for those dishonest people.

Princess Dehui wasn't too flattered by the ignorance of those low-ranking concubines, it was more because she was shocked when she saw such a strange thing for the first time, and she couldn't wait to say it.

Hearing that Ji Mingtong scolded those low-ranking concubines together with her, Princess Dehui's complexion immediately turned better, and her eyes sparkled towards Miss Yan who had never said a word.

Miss Yan was concentrating on drinking water, when she noticed Princess Dehui's gaze, she looked up at Princess Dehui vigilantly, and immediately drank the remaining half cup of warm water in one gulp.

Princess Dehui didn't notice Miss Yan's guard against her at all, and she still stared at Miss Yan with burning eyes. To look away.

Ji Xinxue looked at the two people who were facing each other with great interest, and found that Miss Yan was retreating at an unfathomable speed under Princess Dehui's gaze, and she was about to fall off the chair to the ground, so she couldn't help but walk towards Princess Dehui .

Seeing Ji Xinxue, Princess Dehui immediately let Miss Yan go, and complained to Ji Xinxue for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she leaned on the maid and closed her eyes completely.

In the evening, there was still only hot plain noodles to eat, and everyone went to the mourning hall again after eating.

After entering the mourning hall, Ji Xinxue habitually observed the environment first, and when she caught sight of the kneeling female relatives, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian are at the head, with Su Xian, Concubine Cui and Concubine Yan at their sides.

The 29 concubines kneeled neatly behind these five people, and none of them was missing.

In the future, there will be the royal family members headed by the princess, the princess of Qinghe County and the princess of Xinyang County, and then the foreign wives headed by several first-class wives.

I didn't come to the mourning hall in just one day, and many changes took place in the mourning hall.

In addition to the fact that everyone is more particular about where they kneel, the oppressive atmosphere in the mourning hall has also improved a lot, and the futons on the ground have more than doubled in thickness.

The most important thing is that every two hours someone from the palace will remind a group of people to go to the nearby palace to rest.

The older elders would only kneel in the front and beat the ground solemnly when King Jia or Mo Yao was about to appear.

No matter how the situation in the mourning hall improves, the second half of the night is the most difficult time.

Ji Xinxue yawned delicately under the cover of kowtow, and was going to take advantage of the large number of people in the mourning hall to go out to change clothes and let the wind go.

As soon as he moved, Yu Heng turned his head and looked over. The two supported each other to stand up, and walked out of the mourning hall with their numb legs.

Thanks to the various strange smells mixed in the mourning hall, Ji Xinxue felt fresh even when he smelled the smell of soot outside the mourning hall.He would rather be shivering outside the mourning hall than return to the mourning hall, but unfortunately...

Ji Xinxue could only comfort herself.

Endure it for another day and go back to Chang'an.

Bijuan ran over from the corridor with two cloaks in her hands, and said repeatedly, "I didn't expect to suddenly get cold after nightfall, thanks to the cloak sent by the Songnian Neijian."

Yu Heng first put on the cloak for Ji Xinxue, who was frozen pale, and carefully tied the straps before going to get another cloak.

Ji Xinxue tightly held the edge of the cloak without leaving any gaps, and finally felt the warmth. He complained, "It's not raining yet, how could the weather be so abnormal."

"It's not abnormal, yesterday was Liqiu." Yu Heng said.

"Liqiu." Ji Xinxue expressed emotion on his face.

Not long ago, when Emperor Yanguang hurriedly brought his harem, clan, nobles, and courtiers to the hunting palace, the reason was to escape the summer heat.

No one expected him to go in such a hurry, he didn't even wait for the beginning of autumn, and stayed forever in the summer with minor heat and great heat.

It really deserves it!

Ji Xinxue didn't come out to breathe, but really wanted to change clothes, so she had to separate from Yu Heng, because the places where men and women changed clothes were in diametrically opposite directions.

He was unlucky today. He went to several places in a row and found the door was closed. Unknowingly, he walked further and further away.

Ji Xinxue stopped at the fifth changing place and decided to wait.

If it weren't for the severe shortage of supplies in the palace, there wouldn't be only seven or eight places to change clothes. If you are unlucky, you have to queue up to change clothes.

"Who's there?!" Bi Juan suddenly snarled at the flowers.

Ji Xinxue didn't know what was in the grass, but she trembled in fright at Bijuan's stern tone, her eyes widened silently, and she tried her best not to cry out.

The grass shook violently but no one responded.

This time it was not only Ji Xinxue, Bi Juan also showed timidity in her eyes, she whispered, "Master, why don't we go first?"

Ji Xinxue turned her head to look at the dark road, and silently tightened her grip on Bijuan's wrist.

He just realized something was wrong.

Why are there no servants outside the locker room?

Is this a dressing room?

In a short period of time, Ji Xinxue made up a complete set of horror stories in his brain. His legs were so weak that he couldn't lift his feet. He still didn't dare to ask Bijuan. After all, it was useless to see Bijuan's reaction. When Juan found out that something was wrong, his reaction was bigger than his. Aren't the two of them going to be scared to death here?

'Crackling...'

In the silence, the sound of the door opening was particularly obvious.

Ji Xinxue swallowed hard, and tightly grasped the white jade safety lock around her waist.

At this moment, he had already forgotten his dislike for the British princess, and he wholeheartedly prayed that he would not see anything weird.

As the footsteps behind him became heavier and heavier, Ji Xinxue could no longer deceive himself. He looked sideways at Bijuan, hoping that Bijuan could give him some hints, but found that Bijuan's eyes were closed and he was almost fainting.

Less useful than him!

Ji Xinxue shook his head sadly. When he returned to Chang'an, he would definitely retrain his confidantes. The most important quality was not to be afraid of strange things.

Ji Xinxue completely tore off the white jade safety lock around her waist, and brought Emperor Yanguang's face onto the 'thing' that was getting closer and closer behind her, and infinite courage suddenly arose in her heart.

After the courage returned, reason also gradually returned to the dominant position from the corner of his mind. He judged how far the "thing" behind him was from the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, and suddenly turned around, holding the white jade safety lock high and smashing it down. .

... Without shaking, Miss Yan easily grabbed Ji Xinxue's exhausted hand, and her eyes moved from Ji Xinxue's fierce face to the hand holding the white jade safety lock. , and then turned into a faint grievance, "Master Ningshu?"

Obviously when she was in Hanzhuyuan, everyone else hated her and said bad things about her everywhere, but County Lord Ningshu was willing to give her a good face.

Why did she suddenly want to beat her? Could it be that she did something to offend County Lord Ningshu?

Ji Xinxue was even more at a loss than Yan Xiaoniang.

It's Miss Yan, who can talk, has warmth in her palms, and a shadow, she's a living person!

Ji Xinxue was almost moved to tears on the spot.

This is none other than Miss Yan, who can beat up to ten young ladies!

He resisted the urge to hug the little lady Yan, and showed a big smile, "Yan Meng, shall we go back to the mourning hall together?"

There was hesitation in Miss Yan's eyes. According to her habits, she would never interact with people who bullied her, but... thinking of what Concubine Yan told her, Miss Yan finally nodded with an unhappy face, " Yes, but you have to choose me as your companion."

"Reading with you?" Ji Xinxue was stunned for a moment before realizing that Miss Yan was talking about things after returning to Chang'an. He pondered for a while before opening his mouth, "But Yingying...is Princess Dehui, she didn't even accompany her as a reading partner. There may not be a companion reading, and if I have a companion reading quota, I must first give it to Yu Heng, Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi."

Unless Jia Wang allows him to have four companions, he will not consider others.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Xinxue regretted it. He saw the candlelight in the dressing room behind Miss Yan flicker visibly to the naked eye, and almost went out immediately.

This caused Ji Xinxue, who had just confirmed that Miss Yan was human, to have doubts again, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

If it's really something weird, it's better to bear Emperor Yanguang's old face, at least it can stimulate his potential.

Miss Yan didn't notice the change in Ji Xinxue's expression, she considered Ji Xinxue's words carefully and thought it was acceptable.

First come, first served is not bullying her.

Bijuan, who had been standing beside Ji Xinxue for a long time, finally had a reaction. She stared at Yan Xiaoniang with trembling lips and said, "You, why are you here?"

Just now she realized something was wrong with this dressing room belatedly. There was no servant guarding the door, and there were only her and Ji Xinxue in the empty yard... and there were some unknown things among the flowers.

This discovery made Bijuan almost faint, and because she was afraid of Ji Xinxue, she was even more afraid, so she didn't dare to tell Ji Xinxue, so she had to slowly digest this horrible fact by herself.

With her rich imagination, she was frightened to the verge of fainting several times, and after persevering with her loyalty to Ji Xinxue, Bi Juan gradually recovered.

Miss Yan saw many servants who ignored her. Although she was not very happy, she did not care about Bi Juan for Ji Xinxue's sake. She pointed to the room behind her that was lit with dim candlelight, "Changing clothes."

Ji Xinxue and Bijuan clenched each other's hands and took half a step back in unison, both feeling their legs go weak.

In the middle of the night, changing clothes alone in an empty yard?She's just a 12-year-old girl...you'd have to believe it!

"By the way, have you seen my maid's glutinous rice balls?" Worry appeared in Miss Yan's eyes, she turned around and looked around, and said loudly, "Tangyuan!"

Ji Xinxue began to recall all kinds of horror stories he had read before time travel.

If Miss Yan didn't answer what she wanted, would Miss Yan suddenly transform into a show for him?

Before Ji Xinxue could decide whether to answer Miss Yan's question, a high-pitched and thin voice suddenly came from the depths of the flowers, "My lady, I'm here!"

Ji Xinxue and Bijuan almost jumped up when they heard the voice behind them, and immediately moved behind Yan Xiaoniang, looking vigilantly at the growing flowers.

Not long after, a round-faced maid covered in flowers and leaves came out from among the flowers. She walked up behind Miss Yan and smiled shyly at Ji Xinxue and Bijuan. The lady became more and more frightened, and when she heard someone approaching, she hid in the flowers."

Ji Xinxue followed Tangyuan's words with the little reason left.

There seems to be no problem?

He calmed down and carefully observed Yan Xiaoniang and Tangyuan, and found that both of them were wearing very thin clothes.

The glutinous rice balls were stomping quietly to try to warm themselves up, but Miss Yan was even stronger, her shoulders were already shivering and she was still trying not to show fatigue.

This discovery made Ji Xinxue deeply relieved.

Strange things will not be afraid of the cold!

Ji Xinxue pointed behind Miss Yan and whispered, "I have one last question, can I change clothes inside?"

He originally left the mourning hall to change clothes, and came here after looking for several changing rooms that were already occupied. Now that his nerves that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, it was really hard to resist the temptation of the changing rooms.

Seeing Miss Yan nodded, Ji Xinxue immediately said, "Please wait for me to get off, I'll come out right away."

After walking a few steps, Ji Xinxue strode back again. He wanted to put the white jade safety lock in his hand back on his waist but failed to do so. When he lowered his head, he realized that he had already torn the rope when he was most nervous.

"Take it." Ji Xinxue handed over the white jade safety lock, quickly took off the cloak on her body and stuffed it into Miss Yan's arms, "You put it on first, I'll be ready soon!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Xinxue turned around and ran to the dressing room.

It's really embarrassing for Miss Yan to stand under the cold wind in the middle of the night in such thin clothes and listen to him and Bi Juan talking nonsense.

Although this dressing room is weird, the things inside are still complete.

The door frame is solid, with thick door inserts, and there are opaque curtains on the windows everywhere. There are tall candles and incense on the table, and there are also copper basins lined up on the table.

There are clean sweat towels and acacia next to the copper basin, which just correspond to the number of 'toilets'.

Ji Xinxue went directly to the 'toilet'.

There are twelve wooden barrels placed here, and ten of them are tied with red silk. He randomly found a wooden barrel tied with red silk, first tore off the red silk, and then stepped on the bottom of the wooden barrel, which was about the size of the sole of a foot. on the bump.

The barrel lid opened silently.

After the lid of the vat was opened, there was a hollowed-out platform at the top. There was almost one-third of the ash in the barrel, and the smell was even fresher than the incense next to the tall candle.

If it was a banquet in Hanzhuyuan, or someone else's home, Bi Juan would specially prepare a fine cloth that could just cover the wooden barrel platform, and hand it to Ji Xinxue before Ji Xinxue entered the dressing room.

This kind of fine cloth is a disposable product, and it will be thrown in the changing room after use, and will never be used again.

If the dressing room is large enough, the attendant will enter the dressing room with the master. They even bring their own acacia and sweat towels for washing their hands, which is also convenient for the master to organize the clothes.

But Ji Xinxue has never been able to stand this kind of... Every time, people wait for him outside the door.

Considering the three people outside who were waiting for him in the cold wind, Ji Xinxue fought quickly throughout the whole process.

Then step on the protrusion under the barrel firmly, and the lid of the barrel will close silently.Throw the used acacia and sweat towels into the basin so that they won't be misused by the next person.

Ji Xinxue carefully checked the skirt, and immediately ran outside the dressing room.

I don't know if this dressing room is leaking, Ji Xinxue always feels chilly, forgive him, Emperor Yanguang's mourning hall doesn't even have this dressing room underworld.

After Ji Xinxue ran out of the locker room, she immediately greeted the people waiting in the courtyard to return to the mourning hall, not wanting to stay in this ghostly place any longer.

"You don't need to give me the cloak, let's go quickly and find a place with people first." He waved to Miss Yan, turned and walked out first.

When passing by a courtyard where there was no one at the door but the candles were burning in the locker room, Ji Xinxue stopped in a hurry, "Bi Juan, have we been here before?"

When he and Bi Juan passed by, there were clearly two servants guarding the door.

Bijuan's complexion changed drastically, and her eyes became a little straight again, but Tangyuan showed anger, "They should be able to rest at a certain time. When I went to the dressing room with my little lady, I happened to meet the servants there who were about to leave. I hate them." He obviously saw me and the little lady, instead of stopping, he ran even faster."

After hearing Tangyuan's words, Ji Xinxue's tense mood suddenly eased, and his frowning brows relaxed. He looked at Miss Yan who was always staring at him, wanting to make sure again, "There was someone there?"

Yan Xiaoniang nodded slowly, grabbed the inside of the cloak and said nervously, "What are you afraid of, I will protect you."

Ji Xinxue smiled wryly, the worries that had floated in her heart since she heard Bijuan yelling loudly outside the dressing room and saw something strange in the flowers finally dissipated completely.

It turned out that he was always scaring himself.

Even villains like Emperor Yanguang haven't turned into ghosts, so how could there be other ghosts.

Sensing that Ji Xinxue's footsteps were no longer as eager as before, Miss Yan raised her hand to untie the cloak on her body, "I will return the cloak to you."

"No need." Ji Xinxue panted lightly, embarrassment appeared on her face, "I'm not cold, I'm hot."

Ji Xinxue even felt a thin layer of sweat on her back due to her eagerness and fast pace which caused great physical exertion.

Not long after the sound of everyone's footsteps slowed down, three palace men suddenly appeared in front of them.

Tang Yuan happily waved at the three people, "Come and lead us to the mourning hall."

When they came, they followed the lanterns at the gates of each courtyard.

When the servants of the courtyards left, most of them also took away the lanterns at the gates of the courtyards, causing them to feel that they were walking in circles unconsciously after they could not see the light in the distance.

The three palace servants stopped in place and did not come over immediately.

Tangyuan is all too familiar with the reaction of the palace people.

Miss Yan's status is embarrassing, even with Yan Yan's protection, life in the palace is not easy.

She was afraid that the palace people would leave, so she hurriedly said, "Master Ningshu is here, come quickly!"

As soon as these words came out, the three palace servants immediately strode towards the crowd.

Ji Xinxue looked at the faster and faster pace of the three palace servants, and suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He grabbed the wrist of the person beside him and turned around, "Run, they are not palace servants!"

Palace people will never look at the future emperor with the eyes of the prey, nor will they take strides that almost split in front of the master.

The sudden dense sound of footsteps behind her confirmed Ji Xinxue's conjecture, and the other party was chasing after her.

Ji Xinxue caught a glimpse of the gray cloak out of the corner of her eye, and immediately said, "Throw away the cloak, or you won't be able to run fast!"

Yan Xiaoniang followed Ji Xinxue's words, immediately passed Ji Xinxue, and ran to the front lightly.

"Who are you..." Tang Yuan behind said only four words and was completely silent. Ji Xinxue didn't dare to turn around, and suddenly burst out with strength, almost able to catch up to Miss Yan.

It's a pity that the exhaustion was more sudden than the explosion, and Ji Xinxue didn't run very far. Under the influence of the pain that seemed to explode in her chest and the continuous weakness of her legs, Ji Xinxue's speed became slower and slower, and she could only watch helplessly. further away.

Ji Xinxue thought a lot while squeezing her last strength.

Thinking about the origin and purpose of the three 'palace men' behind him, thinking about the happy life he can have when he returns to Chang'an...

However, the condition of the body will not be changed by the person's will. No matter how much he wants to run faster, Ji Xinxue can feel that his speed is getting slower and slower.

Suddenly there was a firm push from the back, and Ji Xinxue heard Bi Juan's voice, "We all took off our robes, and then ran separately!"

Ji Xinxue knew what Bijuan's words meant, but he couldn't refuse.

If there was a lake in front of him, he would rather throw himself into the lake than fall into the hands of the weird palace man.

When Bijuan and Ji Xinxue were distracted to take off their clothes, Miss Yan who had already run away suddenly ran back. After seeing Bijuan and Ji Xinxue's movements, she also took off her robe and threw it on the ground, then grabbed Ji Xinxue His arms flew in a panic.

Ji Xinxue was almost knocked out by the cold air pouring into her mouth, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to Bijuan at all.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Ji Xinxue finally stopped.It wasn't him who stopped, but Yan Xiaoniang, who was running after him, stopped. There was a dead end ahead, and there was no way to escape.

Ji Xinxue bit the soft flesh on the side of her cheek to stay awake, and turned to look at the palace man who was approaching behind her.

Originally there were three palace men, maybe one was separated to chase after Bijuan, but now there are still two.

The flames in the distance are gradually increasing, it can be seen that the Jinwu Guard was alarmed by their commotion.

But these two palace men only need to take a few breaths to get close to them with ease.

Compared to Ji Xinxue who was exhausted and almost passed out, Miss Yan only had slightly more sweat stains on her forehead, and her breathing was only a little louder than when she was fighting normally.

She turned to look at Ji Xinxue, "If I die for you, will you be filial to my mother?"

"Yes!" Ji Xinxue gritted her teeth and nodded, "You don't need to die for me, as long as you can protect my body from being humiliated by thieves, you mother and daughter can have a safe and prosperous life for the rest of your life!"

He was already at the end of his strength, and Miss Yan, who was infinitely powerful and still had strength to spare, of course, Miss Yan was more likely to survive.

With the attitude of the three 'palace men' who did not hide their malice when they first met, they would not care about wrongful killing or not, and would definitely choose to deal with one person separately.

Even if Miss Yan claims to be the head of Ningshu County, she can't buy time for him, because he will...

In order to delay the time as much as possible, Ji Xinxue shouted with all her strength, "As long as you are willing to let me go, I can trick Ji Jingyu out!"

Noticing that the footsteps of the 'Palace Man' had faltered for a while, Ji Xinxue continued to work hard, "Do you have that kind of medicine that will kill you if you take the antidote irregularly after taking it? Give it to me! I am willing to take it!"

One of the palace attendants stopped at the same spot, and looked at the other palace attendant inquiringly, "A?"

A remained unmoved, pulled out the dagger in his boots and continued to approach Ji Xinxue and Yan Xiaoniang, with a strange and stiff tone, "There is no such medicine."

B sighed regretfully, drew out his dagger and continued to walk towards Ji Xinxue and Yan Xiaoniangzi.

Ji Xinxue was almost pissed off by the incomprehension of these two people, but she showed an expression of disbelief on the surface, crying, "I don't believe it, there is such a medicine, why don't you give it to me! Is Ji Jingyu's life Not as precious as this medicine? I can still deceive others, except for Aye, you can let me deceive anyone!"

B spoke again, and he said sternly, "Ji Xinxue is not the highest executive level, if there is a higher executive level, you can suspend the treatment of Ji Xinxue."

A had already walked in front of Ji Xinxue and Yan Xiaoniang, he raised his dagger high and stabbed down but not at Ji Xinxue but at Yan Xiaoniang, and replied to B, "There is no such medicine! She is not Ning Lord Shu."

Yan Xiaoniang violently pushed Ji Xinxue away, and ran in the opposite direction to Ji Xinxue.

A chooses Miss Yan without hesitation between Miss Yan and Ji Xinxue, and simply ignores Ji Xinxue who is slumped on the ground.

Ji Xinxue desperately wanted to seize every opportunity to delay time, and had no time to think about the meaning behind the words of the 'Palace Man', so he yelled at Miss Yan, "Hurry up and promise that they are willing to trick Ji Jingyu out! "

Miss Yan was distracted and followed Ji Xinxue's request, "I am willing to trick Ji Jingyu out."

"Take medicine! You are willing to take medicine!" Ji Xinxue added hoarsely.

Yan Xiaoniang rolled lightly on the ground again, relying on her agility to avoid A's pounce, her tone was extremely cold, "I am willing to take medicine."

Sensing the light shining on his eyes, Ji Xinxue suddenly came back to his senses, the sharpest part of the dagger was infinitely magnified in front of his eyes...

At the moment of life and death, Ji Xinxue became rational instead. He recalled the reactions of the two 'palace servants' just now, and said sharply, "As long as you kill me in the end, I will tell you who the illegitimate son of Emperor Daxing is!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the dagger faltered, Ji Xinxue ran out along the side of the 'Palace Man' in front of her, running forward in a panic.

He was betting that the two 'palace servants' believed that Miss Yan was Princess Ningshu, and that they would not come to chase him first when time was running out, but would work together to surround and kill Miss Yan.He also bet that Jin Wuwei has found this place, as long as he buys a little more time, he will be able to see Jin Wuwei.

Ji Xinxue didn't dare to look back, and just ran forward.

He didn't even react when he was stopped. He stared at the armor on the person in front of him for a while before shouting sharply, "Go! Yan Meng! Assassin!"

The Jinwu guard who supported Ji Xinxue first asked the Jinwu guard behind him to search the direction Ji Xinxue was pointing at, and then said hesitantly, "Master Ningshu? I will send you back first..."

"I won't go! I want to see Yan Meng." Ji Xinxue strangled her thigh, "There are also two maidservants named Bijuan and Tangyuan who have separated from us. Maybe there is an assassin chasing Bijuan, you send people to find them."

Ji Xinxue really didn't have the strength to walk, and couldn't wait to see Yan Meng, so he could only let Jin Wuwei carry him over.

When returning the same way, Ji Xinxue thought of many possibilities, and when she closed her eyes, there were three other people lying in a pool of blood.

Ji Xinxue was not surprised to see the two assassins and Miss Yan fell not far away, he said hoarsely to Jin Wuwei who was holding him, "Hold me over there."

If Miss Yan didn't care about him, she would definitely be able to escape, it was because of him... He wanted to collect the body for Miss Yan.

Ji Xinxue signaled the Jinwu Guard to put him down when he was three steps away from Miss Yan, and dragged him
